1976 J-10 HONCHO frankenstein build

[SOLSAKS]

thanx rusty. I appreciate that,

it could pass for some of those RC videos of 70s suv's I have seen that look realistic.

I have to get some interior photos

the j-10 got tested yesterday

not planned,.....

girlfriend called, our 6 yr old lab had a seizure lasting longer than ever before

I hopped in, hit the road and held it on a 2 lane black top at 85 MPH

down a country road with straight aways and curves making sure I

remembered, this is not a sports car, be careful.

all went well. previously I had only got it to 55 mph.

our lab "Lilly" is doing fine after an injection to re boot the brain
( she takes gabapentin in low dose, she has had a couple seizures over 6 yrs )
mostly brought on by anxiety, anxiousness I think.

Yikes! That sounds like a real scare. Glad to hear Lilly is feeling better and the truck had the decency to hold together!

THANX DARKMONAHUE

Lilly is a lot of fun

she went bananas inside my tiny 2004 rubicon interior coming home from vet

later that afternoon.

she went into each foot well,...

into the back and to and fro.......labs need an FSJ.

I'm not sure anything could get as much attention as granny did but a I've noticed that a Jeep tuck in nice shape does get it's fair share.

Very nice build! Just got mine out of the body shop and putting all the little parts back on (totally the fun part!). I'll be referencing your build a lot!

*I dyed these Burgundy arm rests black with SEM
to match upholstery...

*I used 3M wrap vinyl in chrome to restore the bright area of the arm rests.

*and silver metallic wrap vinyl on the other part of the insert....

*polished the reflective lens with meguiars plastic polish,...

Where did you get your 3M wrap vinyl? I need to do this exact thing!

I can find the 3M Chrome no problem but I'm not sure which one for the silver. When I look closely at the original it almost looks like it has a brushed stainless look. Do you have a product number of what you used?

not brushed finish but they do make that....

YOU WANT EITHER 1X5FT PEICE FOR 25.00
OR 2X5 FT FOR 50

3M IS WORTH THE EXTRA COST

IVE BEEN GONE TOO LONG

I have been absent from IFSJA too long
dont think i ever posted a pic of a G.L. I did over 20 years ago but here it is,...
looks like an R.C. toy

I have been driving it some lately
since I broke out the DUKES OF hazzard DVD collection, yes,... I still use DVDs
and I don't own a smartphone, nor do I have any t.v. or internet at my house, by choice.
